# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Authority for This Rulemaking

The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the Class D airspace, Class E2 surface area, and Class E5 airspace area to support IFR operations at Camp Guernsey Airport, Guernsey, WY.

## History

                    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA-2024-1856 in the                     **Federal Register**                     (89 FR 71189; September 03, 2024), proposing to modify Class D airspace, Class E2 surface area, and Class E5 airspace area to support IFR operations at Camp Guernsey Airport, Guernsey, WY.                

Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

## Incorporation by Reference

                    Class D, Class E2 and Class E5 airspace areas are published in paragraph 5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, and effective September 15, 2024. FAA Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available as listed in the                     **ADDRESSES**                     section of this document. These amendments will be published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.                

FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

## The Rule

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Class E5 airspace area at Camp Guernsey Airport, Guernsey, WY.

The Class E5 airspace area is modified to within a 6.7-mile radius of the airport and within 6.7 miles each side of the airport's 143° bearing extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 18 miles southeast of the airport, excluding that airspace within R-7001A and R-7002B when active. This modification accommodates IFR arrival operations descending through 1,500 feet above the surface and departing IFR operations until reaching 1,200 feet above the surface.

Additionally, administrative amendments have changed Camp Guernsey Airport's legal descriptions. The city location is amended to Guernsey, WY. The airport's Class D airspace and Class E2 surface area legal descriptions have the updated part-time airspace text. Lastly, exclusionary text referencing special use airspace has been added to all airspace legal descriptions associated with Camp Guernsey Airport, WY.

## Regulatory Notices and Analyses

The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore: (1) is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a “significant rule” under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

## Environmental Review

The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, “Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,” paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
